Illuminati New World Order Conspiracy Exposed

"Some even believe we are part of a secret cabal working against the best interests of the United States, characterizing my family and me as ‘internationalists’ and of conspiring with others around the world to build a more integrated global political and economic structure – one world, if you will. If that is the charge, I stand guilty, and I am proud of it." - David Rockefeller

Order of the Illuminati: Its Origins, Its Methods and Its Influence on World Events

"The
idea was that those who direct the overall conspiracy could use the
differences in those two so-called ideologies
[marxism/fascism/socialism v. democracy/capitalism] to enable them
[the Illuminati] to divide larger and larger portions of the human
race into opposing camps so that they could be armed and then
brainwashed into fighting and destroying each other." - Myron
Fagan

The Order of the Illuminati is often at
the center of debates about the impact of secret societies on human
history. Is the Illuminati a myth or does it truly secretly rule the
world? As the number of people asking that question has grown, facts
about the Order have become diluted with misconceptions and
disinformation, making objective research on the subject difficult.
This article attempts to shed some factual light on the Order of the
Illuminati by reviewing some of the most important documents on the
subject.

The word “Illuminati”
is thrown around rather freely to describe the elite group that is
secretly running the world. Most have a general idea of the meaning
of the term, but are confused about the concepts and the ideas
relating to it. Is the Illuminati the same thing as Freemasonry? What
are their goals? What are their beliefs? Why do they act in secret?
Do they practice occultism? Attempting to objectively research the
subject can become an arduous task as most sources end up being
either dismissive disinformation pieces that deny (and even ridicule)
anything related to the Illuminati or, at the other end of the
spectrum, espouse ill-informed fear mongering based on rumors and
misconceptions. In both cases, the researcher ends up with the same
result: a distorted version of the truth.

Considering that Secret Societies are
supposed to be, by definition, secret, and that history is often
rewritten by those in power, obtaining the unbiased truth about the
Illuminati is a challenge. This article does not claim to “reveal”
or “expose” everything that is to be known about the Illuminati;
it rather attempts draw a more precise picture of the Order by citing
authors who have extensively studied the subject. Whether they are,
at the end of the day, critics or apologists of the Illuminati, these
authors base their thoughts on credible facts. Some of the most
interesting documents on the Illuminati were written by initiates of
Secret Societies as they understood the philosophical and spiritual
undercurrent driving the movement forward. Using these works, we will
look at the origins, the methods and the impacts of the Illuminati on
world history.

Types of Secret Societies

Although several groups called
themselves “Illuminati” in the past, the most influential and
memorable of them was the Bavarian Illuminati. Founded on May 1,
1776, the organization created by Adam Weishaupt blurred the line
between “spiritual” and “political” Secret Societies. By
mixing the occult sciences of Freemasonry and Rosicrucianism while
conspiring to achieve precise political goals, the Illuminati became
an actor on the world stage. While most Secret Societies of the time
catered to rich people and their fascination with occultism, the
Bavarian Illuminati actively sought to profoundly change the world.

Secret Societies have existed
throughout the course of history, each of them with different aims
and with different roles in society. While the Egyptian mystery
schools were part of the Egyptian institution, other groups were
secret due to their subversive and conspiratorial aims. These two
next quotes, written by two famous political figures, describe these
opposing views on Secret Societies:

“Did
Zanoni belong to this mystical Fraternity, who, in an earlier age,
boasted of secrets of which the Philosopher’s Stone was but the
least; who considered themselves the heirs of all that the Chaldeans,
the Magi, the Gymnosophists, and the Platonists had taught...”

-
Sir Edward Bulwer Lytton, 18841

“The
governments of the present day have to deal not merely with other
governments, with emperors, kings and ministers, but also with the
secret societies which have everywhere their unscrupulous agents, and
can at the last moment upset all the governments’ plans.”

-
British Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli, 1876

These quotes describe different realms
of influence of Secret Societies. The first one refers to the
spiritual side while the second describes the political side. Not all
Secret Societies dwell in the spiritual and not all of them get
involved in political machinations. The Bavarian Illuminati operated
in both realms.

“...
Political brotherhoods [are comprised] of power-seekers who cloak
their manipulative agenda in darkness. (…)

The
Illuminati are perceived by many as spanning the chasm between the
spiritual and the political secret society. Often credited (or
blamed) for influencing the French Revolution in 1787, the Illuminati
taught a doctrine of social and political liberation that hinged on
the equality of man, the embrace of rationalism, and the denial of
crown and church as the legitimate institutions for the regulation of
social and moral values. (…) the European revolutions they are
believed to have encouraged degenerated into brutal bloodbaths whose
singular lack of moral compass was appalling.”2

Manly P. Hall, a 33rd Degree Freemason
and prolific author, described in his pamphlet “Masonic Orders of
Fraternity” an “Invisible Empire” that has been silently
working for centuries towards social change. It periodically became
visible throughout History, through different organizations who bore
different names. According to him, these groups have a great yet
silent impact on society, even transforming the educational system to
form future generations.

“The
direct descent of the essential program of the Esoteric Schools was
entrusted to groups already well-conditioned for the work. The
guilds, trade unions, and similar protective and benevolent Societies
had been internally strengthened by the introduction of a new
learning. The advancement of the plan required the enlargement of the
boundaries of the philosophic overstate. A World Fraternity was
needed, sustained by a deep and broad program of education according
to the “method”. Such a Fraternity could not immediately include
all men, but it could unite the activities of certain kinds of men,
regardless of their racial or religious beliefs or the nations in
which they dwelt. These were the men of “towardness”, those sons
of tomorrow, whose symbol was a blazing sun rising over the mountains
of the east. (…)

It
was inevitable that the Orders of Fraternity should sponsor world
education. (…) The program included a systematic expansion of
existing institutions and the enlargement of their spheres of
influence.

Slowly,
the Orders of Universal Reformation faded from public attention, and
in their places appeared the Orders of World Brotherhood. Everything
possible was done to prevent the transitions from being obvious. Even
history was falsified to make certain sequences of activity
unrecognizable. The shift of emphasis never gave the impression of
abruptness, and the motion appeared as a dawning of social
consciousness. The most obvious clues to the secret activity have
been the prevailing silence about the origin and the impossibility of
filing the lacunae in the records of seventeenth- and eighteenth-
century fraternal Orders. (…)

The
Orders of Fraternity were attached by slender and almost invisible
threads to the parent project. Like earlier Schools of the Mysteries,
these Fraternities were not in themselves actual embodiments of the
esoteric associations, but rather instruments to advance certain
objectives of the divine plan.“3

Here, Hall mentions a “silence” and
lack of information regarding the workings of Secret Societies during
the 17th and 18th century, the epoch during which the Bavarian
Illuminati was active. It is during this time period that Secret
Societies took action, causing revolutions, overthrowing Monarchical
and Papal powers and taking hold of the banking system. Was the
Bavarian Illuminati part of the Invisible Empire described by Hall?
Is it still active today? Let’s first look at Adam Weishaupt and
his infamous Secret Society.

Adam Weishaupt

Adam Weishaupt was born in Ingolstadt,
Bavaria on February 6, 1748. His father died when he was seven. As
Adam Weishaupt pursued his studies, he also became knowledgeable in
occult mysteries and Hermetism. He understood that Masonic lodges
would be the ideal venue to propagate his views. He therefore sought
to become a Freemason, but was quickly disenchanted with the idea.

“His
imagination having taken heat from his reflections upon the
attractive power of the Eleusinian mysteries and the influence
exerted by the secret cult of the Pythagoreans, it was first in
Weishaupt’s thought to seek in the Masonic institutions of the day
the opportunity he coveted for the propagation of his views. From
this, original intention, however, he was soon diverted, in part
because of the difficulty he experienced in commanding sufficient
funds to gain admission to a lodge of Masons, in part because his
study of such Masonic books as came into his hands persuaded him that
the “mysteries” of Freemasonry were too puerile and too readily
accessible to the general public to make them worthwhile”.4

Weishaupt soon realized that, to
achieve his aims, it would be necessary for him to create his own
secretive group, composed of powerful individuals who would embrace
his views and help him propagate them.

The goal of Weishaupt’s organization
was simple yet monumental: to overthrow all political and religious
institutions in order to replace it with a group of Illuminati
initiates. On May 1, 1776, the Order of the Illuminati was founded.

The Bavarian Illuminati

Weishaupt’s Illuminati began humbly
with only five members, but after a few years and with powerful
connections, the Order became a major political force across the
world. Influential deciders, rich industrials, powerful noblemen and
mysterious occultists joined the Order and participated in its
conspiratorial objectives. Some historians claim that the Order’s
quick rise to success was due to a secret meeting between Weishaupt
and a mysterious figure named Cagliostro, the most powerful occultist
of the time.

“In
Ingolsstadt, Cagliostro is believed to have met Adam Weishaupt,
professor of philosophy and canon law at the university, who in 1776,
had founded the sect of Illuminati. Calling themselves heirs to the
Knights Templar, they declared their interest in using celestial
intervention as achieved by Cagliostro for the furtherance of a
program of worldwide religious reform, but one more radical than
Cagliostro’s, “committed to avenging the death of the Templar’s
Grand Master Molay by reducing to dust the triple crown of the popes
and disposing of the last of the Capet Kings.”

Cagliostro
obliged, and described in prophetic detail the decapitation of Louis
XVI, an event hardly to be envisaged at that time as anything but
improbable.”5

The Bavarian Illuminati was originally
comprised of three primary grades: Novice, Minerval and Illuminated
Minerval. Each grade was designed to achieve particular objectives
while assuring complete control and dominance to the apex of the
pyramid.

From this basic structure, the
Illuminati began its expansion. Everything was in place for Weishaupt
to achieve an important goal: the infiltration of Freemasonry.

Infiltration of Freemasonry

In 1777, the year following the
creation of the Illuminati, Weishaupt joined the Masonic lodge of
Theodore of Good Counsel in Munich. Not only did he successfully
propagate his views into the lodge, he also managed to get the lodge
to be ”virtually absorbed into the Illuminist order almost
immediately”.6

A definite alliance between the
Illuminati and Freemasonry became possible in 1780 when a prominent
figure by the name of Baron Adolf Franz Friederich Knigge was
initiated into Weishaupt’s Order. The German diplomat’s Masonic
connections and organizational skills were promptly put to use by the
Order. Knigge would go on to accomplish two important tasks for the
Illuminati: He revised the hierarchy of the Order, created new higher
grades and allowed the full integration of Masonic lodges into the
system.

“Two
weighty consequences promptly followed as the result of Kinigge’s
advent into the order. The long-sought higher grades were worked out,
and an alliance between the Illuminati and Freemasonry was
effected.”13

Knigge’s influence upon the Order was
profound and immediate. The new system he devised attracted
Freemasons and other powerful figures, which gave the movement great
momentum. Knigge’s kept the Order’s original grades untouched
but added new grades above them. The second level of the Illuminati
incorporated the grades of Freemasonry making therefore the
Brotherhood simply a part of the wider Illuminist superstructure.

The highest grades of the Order were
restricted to a select few and included powerful individuals and
influential figures. The grade of Prince held within its ranks
National Inspectors, Provincials, Prefects and Deans of the Priests.
At the top of the pyramid were the Magus (also known as Areopagites),
which comprised the supreme heads of the Order. Their identities were
safely guarded and are still difficult to confirm today.

Knigge’s strategy gave impressive
results and allowed the Illuminati to become an extremely powerful
movement.

“The
new method of spreading Illuminism by means of its affiliation with
Masonic lodges promptly demonstrated its worth. Largely because of
the fine strategy of seeking its recruits among the officers and
other influential personages in the lodges of Freemasonry, one after
another of the latter in quick succession went over to the new
system. New prefectures were established, new provinces organized,
and Provincials began to report a steady and copious stream of new
recruits. (…) Students, merchants, doctors, pharmacists, lawyers,
judges, professors in gymnasia and universities, preceptors, civil
officers ... — all were generously represented among the new
recruits. Distinguished names soon appeared upon the rosters of the
lodges of the new system. Duke Ferdinand of Brunswick, Duke Ernst of
Gotha, Duke Karl August of Saxe-Weimar, Prince August of Saxe-Gotha,
Prince Carl of Hesse, Baron Dalberg, the philosopher Herder, the poet
Goethe, the educationist Pestalozzi, were among the number enrolled,
By the end of 1784 the leaders boasted of a total enrollment of
between two and three thousand members 106. and the establishment of
the order upon a solid foundation seemed to be fully assured.”8

Weishaupt, however, did not enjoy his
Order’s success for long. Suspicions of Illuminati conspiracy
against governments and religious arose across Europe. Seeing a
credible threat against its power, the Bavarian government launched
an edict outlawing all communities, societies and brotherhoods that
existed without due authorization of the law. Furthermore, internal
disagreements between Weishaupt and the higher ups of his Order lead
to disputes and dissension. In the midst of it all, some members went
directly to the authorities and testified against the Order, an
opportunity that was not missed by the Bavarian government.

By 1788, through the use of aggressive
legislation and criminal charges, the Bavarian Illuminati was
apparently dissipated and destroyed by the government. While some see
here the conclusion of the story of the Illuminati, one must not
forget that the tentacles of Illuminism had the time to spread way
beyond to confines of Bavaria to reach Masonic lodges across Europe.
In other words, the Illuminati was never destroyed, it simply went
underground. A year later, an important event would prove that
Illuminism was more alive and potent then ever: the French
Revolution.

The French Revolution

The violent overthrow of the French
Monarchy in 1789 symbolizes to many the victory of Jacobinism and
Illuminism over the traditional institutions of the time. The
adoption of the Declaration of Human Rights officially recorded
Masonic and Illuminist values into the core of the French government.
The country’s new motto “Liberté, Égalité et Fraternité”
(Freedom, Equality and Brotherhood) was said to be a famous Masonic
saying that was used in French lodges for centuries.

BACKLASH AGAINST ILLUMINISM

If though Bavarian Illuminati was said
to be dead, the ideas it promoted still became a reality. The
Freemasons and Rosicrucians were still thriving, and the Illuminati
appeared to be living through them. Europe was undergoing profound
turmoil as a new class of people took the helms of power. Critics
began to emerge, revealing to the masses the secret forces behind the
changes they were witnessing.

Leopold Hoffman, a Freemason, published
a series of articles in his journal entitled Wiener Zeitschrift. He
claimed that the lower grades of the Illuminati had been dissolved,
but the highest degrees were still active. He also added that
Freemasonry was being “subjugated by Illuminism” and transformed
to serve its ends. He also stated that the French Revolution was the
result of years of Illuminist propaganda.

In 1797, John Robinson, a Scottish
physician, mathematician and inventor (he invented the siren)
published a book entitled “Proofs of a Conspiracy against All the
Religions and Governments of Europe, carried on in the Secret
Meetings of the Free Masons, Illuminati, and Reading Societies”.
This devout Freemason became disenchanted when he realized that his
brotherhood had been infiltrated by the Illuminati. Here’s an
excerpt of his book:

“I
have found that the covert of a Mason Lodge had been employed in
every country for venting and propagating sentiments in religion and
politics, that could not have circulated in public without exposing
the author to great danger. I found, that this impunity had gradually
encouraged men of licentious principles to become more bold, and to
teach doctrines subversive of all our notions of morality... I have
been able to trace these attempts, made, through a course of fifty
years, under the specious pretext of enlightening the world by the
torch of philosophy, and of dispelling the clouds of civil and
religious superstition which keep the nations of Europe in darkness
and slavery.

I
have observed these doctrines gradually diffusing and mixing with all
the different systems of Free Masonry; till, at last, AN ASSOCIATION
HAS BEEN FORMED for the express purpose of ROOTING OUT ALL THE
RELIGIOUS ESTABLISHMENTS, AND OVERTURNING ALL THE EXISTING
GOVERNMENTS OF EUROPE. I have seen this Association exerting itself
zealously and systematically, till it has become almost irresistible:
And I have seen that the most active leaders in the French Revolution
were members of this Association, and conducted their first movements
according to its principles, and by means of its instructions and
assistance, formally requested and obtained: And, lastly, I have seen
that this Association still exists, still works in secret, and that
not only several appearances among ourselves show that its emissaries
are endeavouring to propagate their detestable doctrines, but that
the Association has Lodges in Britain corresponding with the mother
Lodge at Munich ever since 1784. . . The Association of which I have
been- speaking is the order of ILLUMINATI, founded, in 1775 [sic], by
Dr. Adam Weishaupt, professor of Canon-law in the University of
Ingolstadt, and abolished in 1786 by the Elector of Bavaria, but
revived immediately after, under another name, and in a different
form, all over Germany. It was again detected, and seemingly broken
up; but it had by this time taken so deep root that it still subsists
without being detected, and has spread into all the countries of
Europe”9

Augustin Barrel, a French Jesuit priest
also published in 1797 a book linking the French Revolution to the
Bavarian Illuminati. In “Mémoires pour servir à l’histoire
du Jacobisime”, he traced back the slogan “Liberty and
Equality” back to the early Templars and claimed that, in the
higher degrees of the order, liberty and equality is explained not
only by “war against kings and thrones” but by “war against
Christ and his altars”. He also provided details pertaining to the
Illuminist take-over of Freemasonry.

“Barruel
charged that not only the lower order of Masonry were duped by
Weishaupt, but also those of Weishaupt’s own Illuminati, for whom
he had provided another top-secret level of direction known as the
Aeopagus, a withdrawn circle of directors of the whole order, who
alone knew its secret aims. To Barruel, such revolutionary leaders as
La Rochefoucauld, Lafayette, and the duc d’Orléans, had become
Illuminati agents and dupes of more extreme radicals such as Danton,
provocateurs who sparked the Illuminati-directed rebellion. Barruel
further charged that the entire French Masonic establishment had been
converted to Weishaupt’s revolutionary ideas, its lodges turned
into secret committees which planned bloodshed.”10

Propagation in America

Most of America’s Founding Fathers
were part of Secret Societies, whether the Freemasons, the
Rosicrucians or others. Some of them travelled to Europe and were
well versed in the doctrines of the Illuminati.

From 1776 to 1785 – when the Bavarian
Illuminati was openly active – Benjamin Franklin was in Paris
serving as the ambassador of the United States to France. During his
stay, he became Grand Master of the lodge Les Neufs Soeurs which was
attached with the Grand Orient of France. This Masonic organization
was said to have become the French headquarters of the Bavarian
Illuminati. It was particularly influential in organizing of the
French support for the American Revolution and was later part of the
process towards the French Revolution.

In 1799, when German minister G.W.
Snyder warned George Washington of the Illuminati plan “to
overthrow all governments and religion”, Washington replied
that he had heard “much of the nefarious and dangerous plan and
doctrines of the Illuminati“. He however concluded his letter
by stating: “I believe notwithstanding, that none of the Lodges
in this country are contaminated with the principles ascribed to the
society of Illuminati“.

In another letter to Snyder, written a
month later, Washington continued on the topic:

“It
was not my intention to doubt that, the Doctrines of the Illuminati,
and principles of Jacobinism had not spread in the United States. On
the contrary, no one is more truly satisfied of this fact than I am.

The
idea that I meant to convey, was, that I did not believe that the
Lodges of Free Masons in this Country had, as Societies, endeavoured
to propagate the diabolical tenets of the first, or pernicious
principles of the latter (if they are susceptible of separation).
That Individuals of them may have done it, or that the founder, or
instrument employed to found, the Democratic Societies in the United
States, may have had these objects; and actually had a separation of
the People from their Government in view, is too evident to be
questioned.”

Judging by this letter, George
Washington was obviously well aware of the doctrines of the
Illuminati and even if he did not believe that the Masonic
institutions of the United States propagated its doctrines, he
concedes that individuals might have undertaken that endeavour.

After the Bavarian Illuminati

Today, the term Illuminati is used to
loosely describe the small group of powerful individuals who are
working towards the creation of a World Government, with the issue of
a single world currency and a single world religion. Although it is
difficult to determine if this group descends directly from the
original Bavarian Illuminati or that it even uses the term
Illuminati, its tenets and methods are in perfect continuation of it.
As stated above, the name that is used to describe the occult elite
can change. And, ultimately, the name is irrelevant; what needs to be
recognized is the underlying current that has existed for centuries.

According Manly. P Hall, the Bavarian
Illuminati was part of what he calls the “Universal Brotherhood”,
an invisible Order at the “source” of most Hermetic Secret
Societies of the past. It has worked for centuries towards the
transformation of mankind, guiding it through a worldwide alchemical
process. The same way the alchemical Great Work seeks to turn crude
metals into gold, it claims to work towards a similar metamorphosis
of the world. According to Hall, the Universal Brotherhood sometimes
makes itself visible, but under the guise of different names and
symbols. This would mean that the Knights Templars, Freemasons,
Rosicrucians, and Illuminati are temporary visible manifestations of
an underlying force that is infinitely more profound and more
powerful. However, human beings being what they are – weak toward
greed and power-lust – these movements often become more corrupted
and end up conspiring against the masses for more power and material
gain.

Hall concludes that the Illuminati
existed long before the advent of Weishaupt’s Order and that it
still exists today. It was under the guise of defeat and destruction
that the Illuminati realized its greatest victories.

“Weishaupt
emerged as a faithful servant of a higher cause. Behind him moved the
intricate machinery of the Secret School. As usual, they did not
trust their full weight to any perishable institution. The physical
history of the Bavarian Illuminati extended over a period of only
twelve years. It is difficult to understand, therefore, the profound
stir which this movement caused in the political life of Europe. We
are forced to the realization that this Bavarian group was only one
fragment of a large and composite design.

All
efforts to discover the members of the higher grades of the
Illuminist Order have been unsuccessful. It has been customary,
therefore, to assume that these higher grades did not exist except in
the minds of Weishaupt and von Knigge. Is it not equally possible
that a powerful group of men, resolved to remain entirely unknown,
moved behind Weishaupt and pushed him forward as a screen for its own
activities?

The
ideals of Illuminism, as they are found in the pagan Mysteries of
antiquity, were old when Weishaupt was born, and it is unlikely that
these long-cherished convictions perished with his Bavarian
experiment. The work that was unfinished in 1785 remains unfinished
in 1950. Esoteric Orders will not become extinct until the purpose
which brought them into being has been fulfilled. Organizations may
perish, but the Great School is indestructible”.11

The Great Seal of the United States
features the unfinished Great Pyramid of Giza, a symbol of the
unfinished work of the Esoteric Orders: a New World Order. The Seal
was adopted on the American dollar by Franklin Delano Roosevelt, a
32nd Degree Freemason and a Knight of Pythias with ties Manly P.
Hall.

The Illuminati Today

If the Illuminist Agenda is still alive
today, what form does it take? From the esoteric and spiritual point
of view, some modern Secret Societies such as the O.T.O. (Ordo Templi
Orientis) have claimed to be the heirs of Illuminism. Other
researchers stated that there exists hidden Orders above the 33
“visible” degrees of Freemasonry that form the Illuminati. As
they are, by definition, secret, obtaining details about these Orders
is quite difficult.

The political side of modern
Illluminism is a lot more visible and its plans are obvious. An
increasingly restrictive and concentrated group is being entrusted
with the creation of important decisions and policies. International
committees and organizations, acting above elected officials are
today creating social and economic policies that are applied on a
global level. This phenomenon is rather new in world history as a
rather than kingdoms or nation-states, a non-elected shadow
government, composed of the world’s elite, is gradually becoming
the center of world power.

“On
another political plane are ideological groups such as the Council on
Foreign Relations, or participants in the World Economic Forum. Here
we find leaders in politics, business, finance, education, and the
media who share a belief in the value of global solutions; are in
position of high authority and influence; and represent different
levels of involvement with the inner circle of the group. Most
members simply welcome the opportunity to associate with other
well-known luminaries and are honored by being offered membership or
attendance privileges. Yet, the ideology at the highest levels of
such groups supports a world government – to be administered by a
class of experts and planners, entrusted with running centrally
organized social and political institutions. Although members may be
persuaded to add their considerable voices to certain transnational
political and economic policies, they may bot be as supportive (or
even aware) of the long-range ambitions of the inner circle. While
these groups quite often hold their meetings in secret, their
membership lists are a matter of public record. It is the central
agenda that is disguised.”12

The main elite groups and councils are:
the International Crisis Group, the Council on Foreign Relations, the
World Economic Forum, the Brookings Institution, Chatham House, the
Trilateral Commission and the Bilderberg Group. The Bohemian Club is
known to hold informal gatherings of the world elite punctuated with
strange ceremonies and rituals. The Club’s insignia is an Owl
similar to the one found on the Bavarian Illuminati’s Minerval
seal.

If one would carefully study the
members and attendees of these exclusive clubs, one would notice that
they combine the most powerful politicians, CEOs and intellectuals of
the time with lesser known individuals with famous names. They are
descendants of powerful dynasties that rose to power by taking over
vital aspects of modern economies, such as the banking system, the
oil industry or mass media. They have been associated with game
changing events, such as the creation of the Federal Reserve in 1913.
This act completely modified the banking system of the United States,
placing it in the hands of a few elite corporations. A proof of this
is the court decision of 1982 stating that “The Reserve Banks
are not federal instrumentalities for purposes of the FTCA [the
Federal Tort Claims Act], but are independent, privately owned and
locally controlled corporations“.

In his book “Bloodlines of the
Illuminati”, controversial author Fritz Springmeier claims that
today’s Illuminati is formed from the descendants of thirteen
powerful families whose ancestors had close or distant ties to the
original Bavarian Illuminati. According to Springmeier, the 13
bloodlines are: the Astors, the Bundys, the Collins, the DuPonts, the
Freemans, the Kennedys, the Li, the Onassis, the Reynolds, the
Rockefellers, the Rothschilds, the Russells and the Van Duyns.13

There is no doubt that by virtue of the
material and political resources they own, some of these families
have a great deal of power in today’s world. They appear to form
the core of what we call today the Illuminati. However, are they
conspiring to create a New World Order? Here’s a quote from David
Rockefeller’s memoirs that might answer some questions:

“For
more than a century, ideological extremists at either end of the
political spectrum have seized upon well-publicized incidents such as
my encounter with Castro to attack the Rockefeller family for the
inordinate influence they claim we wield over American political and
economic institutions. Some even believe we are part of a secret
cabal working against the best interests of the United States,
characterizing my family and me as ‘internationalists’ and of
conspiring with others around the world to build a more integrated
global political and economic structure – one world, if you will.
If that is the charge, I stand guilty, and I am proud of it.”14

In Conclusion

Today’s political atmosphere is quite
different from the time of Weishaupt and the American Founding
Fathers, yet there are still many similarities. While the Bavarian
Illuminists purportedly denounced the political and religious
oppression of the Vatican, another kind of oppression is taking form.
As democracies merge into a single world government, as privacy and
freedoms become replaced by “security” and high tech
surveillance, as schools crack down on critical thinking, as mass
media dumbs-down and disinforms the masses, as secret operations
carry out crimes against humanity and as all major protests get
violently repressed by a growing police state, it is easy to draw the
conclusion that a similarly repressive system is currently being
instated by the Illuminati.

Albert Pike's Amazing Predictions Of Three World Wars

Albert Pike was a 33rd degree Mason,
was one of the founding fathers, and head of the Ancient Accepted
Scottish Rite of Freemasonry, being the Grand Commander of North
American Freemasonry from 1859 and retained that position until his
death in 1891. In 1869, he was a top leader in the Knights of the Ku
Klux Klan. He received a vision, which he described in a letter that
he wrote to Mazzini, dated August 15, 1871. This letter graphically
outlined plans for three world wars that were seen as necessary to
bring about the One World Order, and we can marvel at how accurately
it has predicted events that have already taken place.

Pike's Letter to Mazzini

It is a commonly believed fallacy that
for a short time, the Pike letter to Mazzini was on display in the
British Museum Library in London, and it was copied by William Guy
Carr, former Intelligence Officer in the Royal Canadian Navy. The
British Library has confirmed in writing to me that such a document
has never been in their possession. Furthermore, in Carr's book,
Satan, Prince of this World, Carr includes the following footnote:

"The
Keeper of Manuscripts recently informed the author that this letter
is NOT catalogued in the British Museum Library. It seems strange
that a man of Cardinal Rodriguez's knowledge should have said that it
WAS in 1925".

It appears that Carr learned about this
letter from Cardinal Caro y Rodriguez of Santiago, Chile, who wrote
The Mystery of Freemasonry Unveiled.

To date, no conclusive proof exists to
show that this letter was ever written. Nevertheless, the letter is
widely quoted and the topic of much discussion.

Following are apparently extracts of
the letter, showing how Three World Wars have been planned for many
generations.

"The
First World War must be brought about in order to permit the
Illuminati to overthrow the power of the Czars in Russia and of
making that country a fortress of atheistic Communism. The
divergences caused by the "agentur" (agents) of the
Illuminati between the British and Germanic Empires will be used to
foment this war. At the end of the war, Communism will be built and
used in order to destroy the other governments and in order to weaken
the religions."

Students of history will recognize that
the political alliances of England on one side and Germany on the
other, forged between 1871 and 1898 by Otto von Bismarck,
co-conspirator of Albert Pike, were instrumental in bringing about
the First World War.

"The
Second World War must be fomented by taking advantage of the
differences between the Fascists and the political Zionists. This war
must be brought about so that Nazism is destroyed and that the
political Zionism be strong enough to institute a sovereign state of
Israel in Palestine. During the Second World War, International
Communism must become strong enough in order to balance Christendom,
which would be then restrained and held in check until the time when
we would need it for the final social cataclysm."

After this Second World War, Communism
was made strong enough to begin taking over weaker governments. In
1945, at the Potsdam Conference between Truman, Churchill, and
Stalin, a large portion of Europe was simply handed over to Russia,
and on the other side of the world, the aftermath of the war with
Japan helped to sweep the tide of Communism into China.

(Readers who argue that the terms
Nazism and Zionism were not known in 1871 should remember that the
Illuminati invented both these movements. In addition, Communism as
an ideology, and as a coined phrase, originates in France during the
Revolution. In 1785, Restif coined the phrase four years before
revolution broke out. Restif and Babeuf, in turn, were influenced by
Rousseau - as was the most famous conspirator of them all, Adam
Weishaupt.)

"The
Third World War must be fomented by taking advantage of the
differences caused by the "agentur" of the "Illuminati"
between the political Zionists and the leaders of Islamic World. The
war must be conducted in such a way that Islam (the Moslem Arabic
World) and political Zionism (the State of Israel) mutually destroy
each other. Meanwhile the other nations, once more divided on this
issue will be constrained to fight to the point of complete physical,
moral, spiritual and economical exhaustion. [sic] We shall unleash
the Nihilists and the atheists, and we shall provoke a formidable
social cataclysm which in all its horror will show clearly to the
nations the effect of absolute atheism, origin of savagery and of the
most bloody turmoil. Then everywhere, the citizens, obliged to defend
themselves against the world minority of revolutionaries, will
exterminate those destroyers of civilization, and the multitude,
disillusioned with Christianity, whose deistic spirits will from that
moment be without compass or direction, anxious for an ideal, but
without knowing where to render its adoration, will receive the true
light through the universal manifestation of the pure doctrine of
Lucifer, brought finally out in the public view. This manifestation
will result from the general reactionary movement which will follow
the destruction of Christianity and atheism, both conquered and
exterminated at the same time."

Since the terrorist attacks of Sept 11,
2001, world events, and in particular in the Middle East, show a
growing unrest and instability between Modern Zionism and the Arabic
World. This is completely in line with the call for a Third World War
to be fought between the two, and their allies on both sides. This
Third World War is still to come, and recent events show us that it
is not far off.

The Church’s enemies, Communists and Freemasons,
made an organized effort to infiltrate the Catholic
Church

Pope Leo XIII, Dall’Alto (# 2), Oct. 15,
1890: “It is needless now to put the Masonic
sects upon their trial. They are
already judged; their ends, their means, their doctrines, and
their action, are all known with indisputable certainty. Possessed
by the spirit of Satan, whose
instrument they are, they burn like him with a deadly and
implacable hatred of Jesus Christ and of His work; and
they endeavor by every means to overthrow and fetter
it.”1

Pope Leo XIII, In Ipso (# 1), March 3, 1891:
“Nevertheless, it grieves us to think that the
enemies of the Church, joined in most wicked conspiracy,
scheme to weaken and even,
if possible, utterly wipe out
that wondrous edifice which God Himself has
erected as a refuge for the human race.”2

It’s a well known fact that Communists and
Freemasons made organized efforts to infiltrate the Catholic Church.
They sent large numbers of their own men into the priesthood hoping
to weaken and attack her by moving these men to high positions.

Mrs. Bella Dodd spent most of her life in the Communist
Party of America and was Attorney General designate had the Party
won the White House. After her defection, she revealed that one of
her jobs as a Communist agent was to encourage young radicals (not
always card-carrying Communists) to enter Catholic seminaries. She
said that before she had left the Party in the U.S. she had
encouraged almost 1,000 young radicals to infiltrate the seminaries
and religious orders; she was only one Communist.

Brother
Joseph Natale, was present at one of Bella Dodd’s lectures in
the early 1950’s. He stated:

“I listened to that woman for four hours and she
had my hair standing on end. Everything she said has been fulfilled
to the letter. You would think she was the world’s greatest
prophet, but she was no prophet. She was merely exposing the
step-by-step battle plan of Communist subversion of the Catholic
Church. She explained that of all the world’s religions, the
Catholic Church was the only one feared by the Communists, for it
was its only effective opponent.”3

Bella Dodd converted to Catholicism at the end of her
life. Speaking as an ex-Communist, she said: “In the
1930’s, we put eleven hundred men into the
priesthood in order to destroy the Church from
within.” The idea was for these men to be ordained,
and then climb the ladder of influence and authority as monsignors
and bishops. Back then, she said: “Right now they are in the
highest places in the Church. They are working to bring about change
in order that the Catholic Church would not be effective against
Communism.” She also said that these changes would be so
drastic that “you will not recognize the Catholic Church.”
(This was 10 to 12 years before Vatican II.)

Brother Joseph went on relating what Bella Dodd had
said: “The whole idea was to destroy, not the
institution of the Church, but rather the Faith of the people,
and even use the institution of the Church, if
possible, to destroy the Faith through the promotion of a
pseudo-religion: something that
resembled Catholicism but was not the real thing. Once the Faith was
destroyed, she explained that there would be a guilt complex
introduced into the Church… to label the ‘Church of the
past’ as being oppressive, authoritarian, full of predjudices,
arrogant in claiming to be the sole possessor of truth, and
responsible for the divisions of religious bodies throughout the
centuries. This would be necessary in order to shame Church leaders
into an ‘openness to the world,’ and to a more flexible
attitude toward all religions and philosophies. The Communists would
then exploit this openness in order to undermine the Church.”4

Freemasons made similar attempts to infiltrate the
Catholic Church and elevate their own to the highest levels. The
Luciferian secret society, the Carbonari, known as the Alta
Vendita, wrote a set of Permanent Instructions, or Code of
Rules, which appeared in Italy in 1818. It stated:

“… It becomes the duty of the secret
societies to make the first advance to the Church, and to the pope,
with the object of conquering both. The work for which we gird
ourselves is not the work of a day, nor of a month, nor a year. It
may last for many years, perhaps a century… What we must
ask for, what we should look for and wait for, as
the Jews wait for the Messiah, is
a pope according to our wants. We require a pope for ourselves,
if such a pope were possible. With such a one we shall march more
securely to the storming of the Church, than with all the little
books of our French and English brothers.”5

The
same Freemasonic document made this striking prediction:

“In a hundred years time… bishops and
priests will think they are marching behind the
banner of the keys of Peter, when in fact they will be following
our flag… The reforms will have to be brought about
in the name of obedience.”6

These organizations and the individuals who belong to
them are agents which the Devil uses to attack the true Church of
Christ.

Ephesians 6:12- “For our wrestling is not against
flesh and blood; but against principalities and powers, against the
rulers of the world of this darkness, against the spirits of
wickedness in high places.”

On April 3, 1844, a leader of the AltaVendita named
Nubius wrote a letter to another highly-placed mason. The
letter spoke again about the plan to infiltrate the Catholic Church,
and the attempt to insert a masonic “pope,”
who would promote the religion of Freemasonry. “Now then,
in order to ensure a pope in the required proportions, we must
first of all prepare a generation worthy of the kingdom of which we
dream… Let the clergy move forward under your
banner (the masonic banner) always believing they are
advancing under the banner of the apostolic
keys. Cast your net like Simon Bar Jonas; spread it to
the bottom of sacristies, seminaries, and convents … You will
have finished a revolution dressed in the pope’s triple crown
and cape, carrying the cross and the flag, a revolution that will
need only a small stimulus to set fire to the four corners of the
earth.”7

Freemason Eliph Levi said in 1862: “A day will
come when the pope… will declare that all the
excommunications are lifted and all the anathemas are
retracted, when all the Christians will be united within the
Church, when the Jews and Moslems will be blessed and called back to
her . . . she will permit all sects to approach her by degrees and
will embrace all mankind in the communion of her love and prayers.
Then, Protestants will no longer exist. Against what will they be
able to protest? The sovereign pontiff will then be truly king of
the religious world, and he will do whatever he wishes with all the
nations of the earth.”8

An apostate priest and former canon-lawyer,9
named Fr. Roca (1830-1893), after being excommunicated said:
“The papacy will fall; it will die under the hallowed knife
which the fathers of the last council will forge.”10 Roca
also said: “You must have a new dogma, a new religion, a new
ministry, and new rituals that very closely resemble those of the
surrendered Church. The divine cult directed by the liturgy,
ceremonial, ritual and regulations
of the Roman Catholic Church will shortly
undergo transformation at an ecumenical Council.”11
